n00b question #2

Post by robouk »

Passed my Pyschometric Test first time with flying colours apparently which is great news.

As I would rather sound a n00b on here than in the interview, what is the correct way of pronouncing a commando unit? ie 'fourty-two commando' or 'four two commando' etc.

Thanks :)

I'm 99% sure that I read somewhere that it is pronounced as "Four Five", "Four Two" and "Four O" Commando. I am sure someone will give you the definate answer though! :wink:

Squigs was renamed HQLF Commando Support Group about two years ago. They are renaming everything at the moment!
